Memoriam
You cannot pick the rose, my friend,
If you fear to be scratched by the thorn.
And without death, there would be no life,
No moment when it is said "A child is born."
The scales must weigh in perfect balance,
We may not tip them as we will.
Life is a challenge and a gamble,
We run our race, so let it be remembered when we are stilled.
The sands of time are set against us all,
From the moment of our very birth.
Here upon this multicolored spinning spatial ball
This planet that we call Earth.
But I'll raise a glass and toast the shade of my cat:
When it came to love and companionship, they don't make many like that...
Pendragon
